I have a list of properties and values that i'd like to use to dynamically build an Expression(Of Func(Of MyClass,MyClass))
I can run through the list and create each Expression by itself, but the only way I know how to combine them would be to use Expression.And or Expression.AndAlso, but that returns a BinaryExpression rather than my original Expression(Of Func(Of MyClass,MyClass)).
In C# .NET 3.5, is there a way to instantiate an object given its string name? For example, suppose I have a DLL (e.g., MyClass.DLL) which contains type MyClass. Is possible to write something like... Object myClass = SomeMethodToInstantiate("MyClass"); // ? Is it possible to do this in VB .NET 3.5?
View 2 RepliesI'm getting a: mypage.aspx.vb(390,0): error BC30002:Type 'MyNamespace.MyClass' is not defined when I try to compile, run, etc. my website. What's really odd is that I don't have anything in my Error List before or after I do this. I wouldn't have an idea of what was wrong, except I have my compile verbosity turned way up. The line it's failing on looks like:
[Code]...
Traditionally, class/type name is literally spelled inside its definition.
Public Class MyCustomClass
Public child As MyCustomClass
Public Shared Function Clone(ByVal original As MyCustomClass) As MyCustomClass
End Class
This is not a problem most of the time; C-languages even use class name as constructor methods' name. But consider a generic declaration:
Public Class MyListOfIntegers
Inherits MyCustomList(Of Integer)
End Class
[code]....
This scenario has 2 issues. The first one is that constructors are not inherited, and you have to provide pass-through wrappers in every derived class, — this is quiet dumb, but tolerable. The second issue is more severe: derived class inherits CloneMe() method which returns MyCustomList(Of Integer) , not MyListOfIntegers ! Every returned value must be manually DirectCast 'ed for further use with methods that expect MyListOfIntegers . This issue, together with the first one, renders inheritance of generic class almost useless.
So I need a "MyClass" alternative for static type-binding inside type definition. In case of generic type that is referencing other compound types, task could be accomplished by adding second parameter to type section:
Public Class MyCustomList(Of T, TList)
...
Public Function CloneMe() As TList
[code]....
But since we must reference our own type, it would create an infinite recursive loop of additional typeparamlist arguments. How can this be resolved, aside of creating separate classes without generics?
It's a simple concept, but one I've never been taught
View 1 RepliesThe MyClass keyword behaves like an object variable referring to the current instance of a class as originally implemented. MyClass is similar to Me, but all method calls on it are treated as if the method were NotOverridable. I can see how that could kind of be useful, in some specific scenarios. What I can't think of is, how would you obtain the same behavior in C# - that is, to ensure that a call to a virtual method myMethod is actually invoked against myMethod in the current class, and not a derived myMethod (a.k.a in the IL, invoking call rather than callvirt)?

If I do this: Dim w As MyClass = otherObject. where "otherObject" is another variable containing an instance of MyClass, I can be sure that w is a completely different variable? I mean, whatever changes I do to w, will NOT affect otherObject, right?

View 1 RepliesI want to create an ExpressionTree where a Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vektor) should be called. So I use
Expression.Call(Forces(0).Function.Method, {Vec1, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4, Double1, Double2})(Vec1-4, Double1-2 are declared as ParameterExpression and Forces(0).Function as Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vector). But I get an AgrumentException, because Forces(0).Function.Method has seven Arguments. (System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Closure as seventh argument at Index 0).
The pattern I'm trying to avoid is checking if a string (normally a control's text value) is null/empty, and if it is, comparing it using Contains to a field in my data. Obviously the field isn't hard-coded into my extension, neither is the object type.What I've got works perfectly in Linq to Objects, but I get the generic run-time error "LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.String Invoke(GenericQueryHelper.Customer)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression." when using an entity framework model.
Here's what I have:
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()>
Public Function CompareAndFilter(Of T)(source As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T), expressionField As System.Linq.Expressions.Expression(Of System.Func(Of T, String)), compareTo As String)
[code]....
I want my usage to look something like this:
Dim results = repository.Customers.CompareAndFilter(Function(c) c.FirstName, searchText)
I do need to get this running against a SQL database really, as it is filtering results, so I don't want to be doing that in memory.

View 3 RepliesI'm still trying to get my head around the whole "Lambda Expressions" thing.
Can anyone here give me an example ordering by multiple columns using VB.Net and Linq-to-SQL using a lambda expression?
Here is my existing code, which returns an ordered list using a single-column to order the results:
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).ToList
Note: The WebCategory object has a child WebPage object (based on a foreign key). I'd like to order by WebPage.DisplayOrder first, then by WebCategory.DisplayOrder.
I tried chaining the order bys, like below, and though it compiled and ran, it didn't seem to return the data in the order I wanted.
Return _dbContext.WebCategories.OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.DisplayOrder).OrderBy(Function(c As WebCategory) c.WebPage.DisplayOrder).ToList
I have an untyped dataset returned from my WebService. The user wants to dynamically construct a query referencing tables and columns and specifying values to test for.I have looked at Lambda Expressions and the Expressions.Expression Namespace. I think these provide the answer I'm looking for, but I'm not certain how to go about contructing the linq expressions to extract the datarows I'm looking for.
I plan on limiting the result to one datatable that the query will result in and i"ll provide the joins from the user's constructs.For a simple example I have a DataTable with (n) rows called "Table", and in it there is a computed column called "b_IsActive" that has the expression "Convert(IsActive, 'System.Boolean')". The user wants to retrieve all rows in "Table" where field "b_IsActive" is true.
how to create a lamdba expression instead of using a regular comprehension linq queries. All of the examples i see are not query a database using linq to sql. i want to able to construct a lambda expression that get my the orders from the northwind database where the country equals "us". I know how to construct this using the standard linq query, but just not using lambdas in vb.net.
